CRUISE THE GORDON RIVER

Strahan is a 300-kilometre drive from Hobart, a journey that will take a little over four hours. From Launceston, it’s 270 kilometres, taking about three-and-a-half hours by car.

There is no quick public transport route from Hobart to Strahan. Passengers need to travel via Launceston and Burnie, with the trip taking almost 13 hours. The bus leaves the Hobart Transit Centre each morning from Wednesdays to Sundays. Buses also depart during the afternoon on Sundays and Mondays, but this option necessitates an overnight stop in Devonport.

Several tour companies include a Gordon River cruise as part of their multi-day Tasmanian tour itineraries, including AAT Kings, and the 3 Day Western Explorer tour by Great Expeditions. Please contact the operators directly to discuss your requirements and determine if these options meet your needs.

Both cruising vessels are wheelchair accessible, including the bathroom facilities. Dog guides are welcome onboard.
